There’s something appealing about having a little piece of ground that gives you options. This 5.5-acre Knox County property offers room to build, space to recreate, and direct access to thousands of acres of public land just across the road. Approximately 3.3 acres are tillable with a PI of 111.5, wrapping around a small pond and creating a setting that could work equally well for a future homesite, weekend retreat, or simple place to enjoy the outdoors. Blacktop road frontage, electricity, and fiber internet available at the road make the property practical, while the surrounding countryside provides the privacy and scenery that make a small acreage tract worth owning. And then there’s Snake Den Hollow. This 2,500-acre IDNR property sits directly across the road, putting fishing, waterfowl hunting, upland bird hunting, archery deer hunting, hiking, and other outdoor recreation essentially at your doorstep. With 125 water impoundments (ponds/lakes) totaling 400 acres, fishing opportunities are beyond compare. Located in the ROWVA School District, the property is just 19 miles from Galesburg and 38 miles from Peoria. For someone looking for a manageable piece of country that offers both recreational opportunities and the potential to build, 5.5 acres can go a long way.
